i had a dream after i fell asleep again that i was going to this school, but it was more like a vacation to this beautiful mountainous area where we would do all kinds of interesting outdoor activities and stuff. when i first got there, though, there was something scary. we lived in these really fancy dorms, and this creature was running through the dorms and it had this weird head that was almost like a pumpkin or an acorn but it was really scary looking.

one of the teachers somehow got rid of it, and me and my friend (maybe my partner?) were looking around. there was a beautiful bathroom that i wanted to take a shower in, we looked out the window down to the first floor where there were several pools, although it was overcast. we went on some kind of walk outside with the rest of the class, and on the way back, some other people wanted to look at this overlook. i was the first to say i’d look because i wanted to be brave, but when i walked over we were so high up that i freaked out and i had to get someone to help me get back away from the edge.

when we got back to the dorms, i went to the bathrooms but they were suddenly really dirty and there was this orange ooze coming out of them that nobody else but me seemed to notice. 

i started to feel weird and afraid, whenever i tried to leave to check out the surrounding town a teacher would appear and stop me and they would be smiling but they would act very aggressive. i looked out the window and saw down in the pools they were full of blood and gore and bodies that someone was fishing out. i think i realized they had always been, but there had been some kind of spell over me to make me think that where i was was safe. 

i was afraid to let my friend/partner see how gory and disgusting it was down there, so i turned around and saw them and then pushed them back and started to whisper to them about how we needed to get out. they agreed, and at first we tried to write a letter to our parents. i wrote this long letter on this school computer/tablet thing, it was halloween themed for some reason. the letter was extremely long, but when i scrolled up all the words had turned into gibberish and pumpkin pictures. i knew that someone had been watching us write, and when i turned aroudn one of the teachers was coming back in.

we tried to play it cool, but we knew that he knew about us trying to escape. he didn’t say anything though, but he was threatening just looking at us. we realized that the acorn/pumpkin-headed creature we had seen before was another kid like us (i was a kid in this dream lol) who had tried to escape and been turned into a horrible monster. 

eventually we just ran, along with a bunch of other kids, we just tried to run as far as we could, because eventually we had to be able to get far enough away that we couldn’t reach us. i was up north somewhere, the greenery was beautiful but i got separated, i was on my own in this cool, misty countryside. 

then i “woke up” and it was the middle of the night. i got up, and went to walk around the house. the house had a slightly different layout from my real house, and when i turned a corner i screamed because there was someone standing there. i realized it was my mom, she was sitting on the floor folding laundry in the dark. she didn’t question why i was there, i just watched her, and i was embarrassed until she got up, and she asked how she could fix something that had gone wrong with one of the clothing items.
